SANTA CRUZ -- Turner Jacobs is looking for a good woman and a Norwegian television program is hoping to help him find one.

Jacobs, an Aptos native and recent college graduate, answered a casting call on Craigslist to snag a lead role on a reality show called "Sons of Norway" earlier this year.

Similar to the U.S. television program "The Bachelor," the show features Norwegian-Americans seeking a Norwegian-born mate.

Jacobs visited Norway a few months to ago to shoot in the Scandinavian nation. On Friday, a film crew visited the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with Jacobs and four young women from Scandinavia, so he could show them around.

According to the show's website, eligible bachelors and bachelorettes had to be of Norwegian-American descent, be single and at least 20 years old and live within two hours of either Seattle or San Francisco. The show is in its second season.
